What Is Lyme Disease?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
9. Treatment
In days gone by, Lyme disease was a very serious condition that would take many lives. It is still to be treated as a serious condition now, but it can be treated relatively easily if caught soon enough. Treatment generally involves antibiotics, and the infection should hopefully clear up within 30 days or so.
As mentioned, it is important that the infection is treated as soon as possible. If left too late, then doctors may also need to treat potentially severe symptoms caused by the infection. Lyme disease can cause permanent, irreversible damage, and it can also lead to fatalities if appropriate treatment is not found in time.
